As autumn winds blow, leaves fall. Having separated from a tree, leaves decompose into the earth and eventually return to a tree's original roots. Hence the saying: “fallen leaves are destined to return to the root.” ?
The picture above depicts the motion of leaves towards the root, which in turn can be interpreted as the intense bond Chinese feel towards their motherland. ?
More and more overseas Chinese are returning or have already returned to China. Despite the length of time they have spent abroad, or regardless of the life they may have lead, they are often disposed to return to their roots, to come home. It is commonly said that blood is thicker than water. Because they are grateful for their homeland's nourishment and support, they return to contribute to the construction of their country with the knowledge, experience and wealth acquired abroad. This inclination is an expression of people's attachment to, and love of, their homeland. Patriotism is a prevailing emotion among the overseas Chinese. The Chinese still living in China should also cherish and love their country, and give back with their knowledge and actions in order to cultivate the country's present and future.
译文：??
秋风萧萧，落叶凋零。从树上飘落后，落叶在土壤里腐烂，最终又返回到了树根里。因此谚语说：“叶落归根”。?上面这幅图描绘了树叶向根部落去。这也可以比喻为中华儿女内心感受到的对祖国的深深眷恋。?
越来越多的海外华人已经或即将返回祖国，无论他们在海外生活了多久，过的是什么样的生活，他们总是要回到他们的根，即回家。人们常说：血浓于水。因为他们感谢祖国对他们的养育和支持，他们贡献出自己在国外获得的知识、经验和财产回来建设祖国。这种趋势是人们对祖国的忠诚和依恋的流露。爱国主义是海外华人的主流情感。国内的中华儿女也应该珍视和热爱祖国，用自己的知识和行动回报祖国，为了建设好祖国的今天和未来。

The picture conveys a strong patriotic meaning. It portrays a common natural phenomenon: when autumn arrives, leaves from trees will fall to the ground. The fallen leaves will not abandon the tree that they came from. On the contrary, the leaves fall down around the tree in order to cultivate the tree's roots, which symbolize one's motherland. ?
Patriotism implies a love for one's mother country. It is the noblest of human sentiments. Every
citizen should possess some spirit of patriotism. Patriotism, however, is not to be testified by the tongue; it should be manifested in action. With this definite object in view, one must do his best for his motherland, and, at any moment, be ready to make sacrifices for her. The man who possesses such will is a real patriot at heart. ?
Patriotism may be shown in various ways: soldiers display it by fighting for or defending their country; scientists express it by doing constant research work so that more advanced technology can be introduced and utilized in the construction of their motherland; those overseas demonstrate it by doing whatever they can to help their motherland and fall into its embrace without hesitation whenever they are needed. ?
The true patriot desires righteousness and uprightness for one's own land. He puts love of his country before the love of himself, and is willing to makeany sacrifice for it.
译文：??
图片表达了一种强烈的爱国主义情怀。它描绘了一个非常普通的自然现象：秋天来临，落叶归根。落叶不会远离大树而去，相反，它们落在树的周围来滋养大树的根基，树根象征着祖国母亲。?
爱国主义意味着人们对祖国的热爱。它是人类最高尚的情感。每一个公民都应当具有爱国主义精神。爱国主义不能停留在口头上，而应当落实在行动上。有了这个明确的目标，人们必须尽力报效祖国并时刻准备为祖国牺牲一切。在内心里具有这样精神的人才是真正的爱国主义者。爱国主义表现在各个方面：士兵的爱国主义精神体现在为保卫祖国而战；科学家的爱国主义精神体现在孜孜不倦的科研工作，把更先进的技术引进并应用在祖国的建设中；海外华人的爱国主义精神则体现在尽其最大努力帮助建设自己的祖国，并且在祖国需要的时候毫不犹豫地投入祖国母亲的怀抱。?
真正的爱国主义者对自己的祖国是正直无私和忠心耿耿的。他把祖国的利益放在个人利益之上，并且为了祖国的利益甘愿牺牲自己的一切。

In recent years there has been a dramatic rise in the cell phones, which are now essential to millions of people as a convenient form of communication. In 2004 the number reached 315,000,000, with an average annual increase at 57,500,000. ?
Some people can now no longer imagine life without their cell phones. The fact that they are so popular proves that they are useful and convenient. Cell phones enable people to easily and quickly communicate with one another; wherever you are, you can instantly reach somebody. Cell phones eliminate the trouble of not being able to meet someone in person, and therefore increase business's efficiency. ?
Mobile phones necessarily also harbor disadvantages. The radiation such phones emit is hazardous to one's health. Furthermore, if people become too reliant on the use of cell phones, our face to face skills may decline. Any new invention has its drawbacks, and such negative aspects cannot always diminish its popularity. Despite the negative effects of television, for example, the number of people who own televisions continues to grow at a tremendous rate. This is also the case with mobile phones. People won't stop eating just because of the risk ofchoking. In addition, the swift development of science and technology will likely eliminate the hazards cell phones may cause. One can safely predict, therefore, that with the introduction of new techniques, mobile phones will have more applications and become even more appealing to customers.

近年来，手机有了飞速的增长。对数以百万计的人来说，作为最便捷的通讯工具手机是生活中必不可少的。到2004年，手机的数量达到3.15亿，平均每年增长了5750万用户。?
有些人现在已经无法设想没有了手机的生活会是什么样子。手机如此普及的事实证明了它们的实用和方便。手机使人们能够简单快捷地相互沟通，无论身处何地，都能马上联系上。手机解决了需要交流时却无法见面的问题，因而也增加了商业活动的效率。?使用手机也不可避免地存在弊端。手机发出的辐射对健康不利。而且，如果人们过于依赖手机，那么我们面对面交往的能力会下降。每个新发明都有它的缺点，但这些消极方面并不会影响它的普及。比如电视，尽管有很多负面作用，但拥有电视的人数还是继续以极高的速度增长。这种情况也适用于手机。人们不会因噎废食。而且，科技的飞速发展有希望消除使用手机所带来的风险。所以，可以有把握地预言，随着新技术的采用，手机会有更广的用途，而且会对消费者更有吸引力。

It is smart. If you need to ring someone, you can just dial a number and the phone will connect you to the right person. It can be a great help for you to be connected with the world. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with: news, games, music and chat through sending short messages. Thirdly, the drop in price and the simultaneous improvement in the functions have made it possible for an average person to make use of a cell phone. ?
The wide use of cell phones has made them more and more indispensable in people's daily life. The many functions of the cell phone have made certain people reluctant to separate themselves from their cell phone.

范文1：??
What is humor? It is not the performances of a clown who attempts to entertain others, nor is it simply making fun of others. Humor is the wisdom and resourcefulness that can alleviate an awkward situation. Life inevitably brings disappointments, setbacks, and failures. If our endurance in the midst of frustrations is not sound, anxiety and panic can overtake us. If one has a sense of humor, however, one can mentally adapt to the changing conditions in a wise and healthy manner. ?
Humor can reduce distress and unhappiness by creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. While stiff expressions make others uncomfortable, smiles and wit can soften anger, relieve depression, and comfort a broken heart. Humor can foster better communication and understanding, and therefore not only brings happiness to oneself, but also, and perhaps more importantly, gratifies others. A sense of humor can certainly increase one's popularity. ?
Humor can clearly be of much help to our work, study, and life as it is beneficial to our physical and mental health. Not everyone one has an innate sense of humor, however. A sense of humor is usually acquired in relation to others. In order to develop a sense of humor, one must have an open mind and the ability to deal with unpleasant events and people. Humor also requires a broad spectrum of knowledge and optimistic thinking.
译文：??
什么是幽默？它不是小丑企图取悦别人的表演，也不仅仅是拿别人来寻开心。幽默是缓和尴尬局面的智慧和机智。生活中避免不了失望、挫折和失败，如果我们承受挫折的忍耐力不够，焦虑和恐慌就会主导我们的身心。但如果一个人有幽默感，他就能用一种明智而健康的方式在心理上适应变化的环境。?
幽默通过创造一种愉快而友好的气氛来减轻不幸和苦恼。僵硬的表达让别人不舒服，微笑和机智却能熄灭怒火、减轻沮丧、抚慰绝望。幽默能促进更好的沟通和理解，因而不仅把快乐带给自身，而且更重要的还能让别人感到高兴。幽默感确实能提高一个人受欢迎的程度。?
因为幽默有益于我们的身心健康，所以对我们的生活、工作、学习无疑都大有帮助。但没有人是生来就有幽默感的。幽默感通常是在人际交往中形成的。为了培养幽默感，一个人必须有开放的心胸和接受不愉快的事物的能力。幽默还需要有宽广的知识面和乐观的心态。
范文2：??
A sense of humor is universally considered the most valuable asset in our personality. It is born within every person's heart, but it has to be cultivated.A person without a sense of humor is just like a spring without flowers or a dish without seasoning. In a sense, your personality lies in your sense of humor.
Humor can enhance physical as well as mental well?being. It helps us bare our burdens, reduce tension, helps us overcome our frustrations, relax our muscles, and dissolve countless trifles and irritations offered by day?to?day life.
With the cracking of a joke, all of our worries and sadness disappear like mist and we are full of vigor once again. Besides, humor helps us live in harmony with others. With it you can always stay on good terms with others. ?
One way to cultivate a sense of humor is to have a wide range of knowledge about many topics so that the slightest differences in meaning of a joke can be fully understood; otherwise we would be simply at a loss in such a situation. Another crucial point in developing a sense of humor is to have a rich imagination. Nothing can be worse than the lack of imagination to kill an otherwise funny joke. ?
A sense of humor is one of the ways in which we relax and recreate ourselves. The things we find humorous may vary, but to have a sense of humor is very important and should be cultivated to get the most out of life.
译文：? ?
幽默感被公认为是人的性格中最有价值的私有财产。它是与生俱来的，但也需要后天的培养。一个人如果没有幽默感就像春天没有花朵，一盘菜没有调料。从某种意义来说，你的个性来自于你的幽默感。?
幽默能够提高我们的身心素质。它能够帮助我们减轻压力、缓解紧张、笑对挫折、放松身体、化解日常生活中的琐事和愤怒，它能化干戈为玉帛。随着一声玩笑，所有的苦恼、悲伤和疲劳都会烟消云散，让我们再次充满了生机和活力。此外，幽默还有助于我们与他人和睦相处。有了它,你就会时常与他人保持良好关系。?
培养幽默感的一个途径是众多的话题都要有广博的知识，往往幽默是在细微之处见精神，只有拥有广博的知识才能懂得幽默；否则，我们在面对别人的幽默时就会不知所措。另外，培养幽默感时，同样关键的一点是要有丰富的想象力。缺乏想象力则会置幽默于死地。
幽默感是我们放松和娱乐的途径之一。 幽默可能因事而异，但至关重要的是要有幽默感，而且应该积极培养之，以期生活更加丰富多彩。
